This is the home of a black doctor Hector Collison. There is a video "Dr. Hector Collison's Mansion". This mansion is in Potomac, Maryland. The belongings you see are not property of the Collison family. This home was sold to a Nigerian national who was put in Federal prison and deported. Everything he left behind because he was imprisoned. The dogs were starved they broke out of their cages and survived on water from the sink as long as they could. That is why the sinks are full of feces. The dogs died in there. His wife and children were deported. Dr. Hector Collison was a colleague of my fathers he was a great doctor and businessman. Sad what happened to him and his son. Potomac has a lot of wealthy black people mostly high powered attorneys, doctors and real estate investors. Dr. Collison's daughter Amira is a psychiatrist.

That locked door room on the second floor that you saw was actually an elevator. You can tell by the two up and down buttons next to it and the way the door is locked as well. It is a requirment by codes as a safety feature to be locked when not level with the door on residential buildings to prevent someone opening the door and falling in.

You’re always very respectful to these homes and their possessions. This is one of the reasons why I keep coming back to you

He wasn't a pilot but a cardiologist (Dr. Collison) who flew small planes as a hobby until he crashed his plane and died with his son on one of his flights. His widow could not afford the $50,000/month mortgage and the $8 million left to pay off on the house. Since it was still under construction and unfinished, she couldn't sell it within the 3 months that the bank had given her so the bank foreclosed on it and it was sold to some Nigerians who were later deported. All the items in the house is what the Nigerians left behind when they had to leave the country in a rush.

This has got to be the most gorgeous house on KZfaq & yet abandoned.. Like was said, all those new clothes, still tagged, could be donated to the needed.... Just shocked so much left behind..

The first owner of this house was a cardiologist . He had the house built and they'd lived in it 7 months when him and his 15 year son went on a trip in his plane and crashed and died when the plane crashed. The wife had to sell it because of 8 million was still owed on it and the husband had let his multi million dollar life insurance lapse 2 months prior to his death and the mortgage was $50,000 and 8 million was owed on the home. The man saved for years it was his and his familys dream home unfortunately the wife and other 3 kids had to sell the home and take what they could and move back to their old home. The youngest daughter become a Dr. Like her dad. The mortgage company gave the wife 3 months to sell the home and she did , to a nigerian national and a woman named natalie . Ironically the nigerian national also died and natalie was forced to leave the home. Its been tied up in the courts since then starting in 2015 for back taxes. No one else has owned this home and no one else ever will. Some homes arent meant to be owned after such tragic events happen. No one will ever keep this home the sadness is embedded in the walls. Someone elses blood , sweat , and tears went into the planning and construction of it and he worked his life to afford it and ended up losing his life after and it was tragic for the family. Houses hold memories and emotions ..not all good. This house will be cursed for anyone who tries to own it. Both people who have owned it died tragic deaths at two different times the other owner, the nigerian national died in a bad car wreck. You can feel the sadness and anger in the house. You can almost see the family there too

One reason so many of these mansions don't sell is because the original owner/builder puts so much of their personality into the decor. Unless you happen to like the same style it would be hard and expensive to redo. That staircase is beautiful but not to everyone's taste. Think what it would take to redo all of the staircases and balcony rails.

I am amazed at these abandoned homes still with all the valuable possessions left in them and noone has ransacked them or stolen all the belongings, there is a ton of valuables left here that some would die to have, especially the cars, it just amazes me noone has come to reclaim them or stolen them. Another thing that is really strange is how one room will be perfect and another room totally destroyed, like someone lost their temper and or totally lost it due to sadness or great loss and just threw stuff everywhere. The clothing is also amazing all new with tags still on them never worn, including the shoes. All I can say is "WOW!!!" Simply amazing. Thanks guys for showing us these amazing and sometimes very sad places and the people that once lived in them, and also how it looks like one day they just got up and left and never returned, leaving behind their legacy for us to see. Simply amazing!

It’s sad to see such a beautiful home empty and neglected the way this is. There are so many people that could use the items in that home instead of rotting away.

You know the Nikes and liquor aren't there anymore after this video aired

Can't believe such a huge home for only 3 people. Can't imagine being in there at night, even when people were actually living there.

The top floor looks like the butler's quarters. The phones are internal lines I would assume, so the family could ask for things whenever they need something. Amazing house! Such a sad fate. RIP to the father and son.

Great tour, Thank you. I've seen this place before, but not done as well as your video. They didn't show all of the new clothes with tags. Imagine eleven bedrooms and each has a bath. Now that's the only way to do a good job building a home. I'm very surprised that there was little to no male clothes or shoes. And no evidence that a child lived there. That seemed very strange. This was the best tour ever. Thank you so much.

I finally was able to find the back story on this - the doctor's wife was able to sell the home after his passing. All of those items are not from the doctor or his wife, they are from the second owners.

They used the old phones as an intercom system. Just like at a hotel. You'd dial from room to room.

The digital phones are most likely multi-line / intercom. Also the hole looks more like something / someone fell from above or something hanging was ripped out. It didn't look like any water damage. Would have loved to see up that opening. I love seeing the abandoned places you find. Thank you for taking us along with you!

What a stunning property and the stuff left. Thanks for the walkthrough. Much love from the Uk.

Wow, great exploration there. What a shame a beautiful house like this is abandoned. It really could be turned into a hotel, with the amount of bedrooms and bathrooms it has. Really enjoyed the video, love from Great Britain 🇬🇧

It kind of seems like some of them just started a new life unless they just always had new things but not much of anything else. This is one of the most beautifully designed houses I've seen.

I feel like the family may have been in a lot of debt. Or maybe they had only recently come into money. It looks expensive but doesn’t feel wealthy, if that makes sense.

That polished marble floor in the master bath looks nice but man...I'd be worried about slipping and sliding trying to get out of the shower.

My jaw dropped seeing all this new stuff.. It is sad as happiness cannot be bought. You would think people so rich was not hesitate to get a good life insurance in case something bad happens. But apparently not.

That last room with the blue stripes was more than likely the housekeeper/estate manager/nanny's quarters, etc... *How* on earth has this not been ransacked?? Where is it, Maryland? If it's a gated community that might explain it The starving pups is beyond sad. RIP, babies ❤ Just wild. Thanks for posting

Someone should come in there collect everything and donate, alot that stuff people could use!

LOL they fill their wood-paneled study up with Danielle Steele novels. Having money doesn't mean you aren't still basic at heart, I guess. It reminds me of Saul Goodman's gawdy mansion from the end of Better Call Saul. Great explore!

Although I’ve seen this exploration before, I did enjoy your version. Thank you.

The backstory for this is so sad, but the place is beautiful and amazing, seriously, what a place.

Wow. Sad story. Ugh. Great explore 🥰🥰🥰

Hey that mattress looked comfy!!!! Will definitely check that out! 😊

R U serious? OMG! This is unbelievable. This is truly a jaw-dropping abandoned mansion video. I have seen tons of videos about abandoned mansions, but this one tops the list. Where are all of the millionaires or property developers? From what I have seen, there doesn't seem to be a lot of damage, and could be restored to tip-top shape in no time. This is so sad! The furniture, OMG! They didn't even want some of the furniture? WOW!

I think the "locked bedroom" was the elevator.

Love your stuff. Thanks so much!

It's good to watch this content, there are always stories

What a beautiful place. Dark expo the plug fr 🔥🔥

I've been watching your channel for years. This was one of your great ones, bro.

love all your videos and the calm soothing way you narrate👍👍

Great explore, Devin! 👍🏻

So, so sad. Thanks for the explore of this beautiful Manson. 😢

OMG how beautiful! So sad to see it wasting away!

Congratulations on the sponsor, that makes me so happy for you!😊

Wow wot a gorgeous house it’s so sad to see someone’s life just left behind and some people have gone in there and trashed the place I hope someone buys the property soon cause it would be such a shame if it was do get destroyed by youngsters amazing exploration great video 👍

Such a sad story about the family. It doesn’t appear theres a ton wrong with this house for the most part, it needs a lot of cleaning for sure and some repairs but it’s all fixable. The incomplete pool area and the outside needs a lot of attention/clean up too. But it’s got good bones, what a beautiful home, someone that had the financial means could fix it up and live there for sure after it receives the cleaning, completing, attention required to make it inhabitable again. I really hope somebody saves it before the apparent damage get worse or vandals discover the place and destroy it. I agree with you that it’s a shame those clothes and shoes are just sitting there when they could be used by people that need them. So sad what happened.

The wrapping paper was in a storage bin not a garbage bin I have one there is a lid that snaps on with more storage on top. Great explore and as always another great video.

Thank you very much and I really enjoyed this. I have never seen a place like this before. How many square ft was this place? The depreciation on the 10,000,000 place is incredible 6, 000,000. They had the best of everything in 2016. The lady of the house must have been fully engaged in shopping for clothes, makeup. The best materials money could buy. Nothing was spared on the main and second floor. If this family would have been living in this place longer I bet that pool and jacuzzi room would have been amazing.

Magnificent vid sir.

What an incredible home!! Such a sad story though.

The Mercedes is a first-generation CLK class convertible, and the Volkswagen is a 2004-2010 New Beetle Cabriolet.

Great video!👍

The "locked" doors were actually not rooms. They were elevator doors that only open when the elevator is on that floor. The call buttons were beside the doors to the right.

The size of this house and the amount of clothes for 3 people, this is insane, this shows how rich people get more than they need.

That was awesome video

Dr. Ime S. Umanah, a Nigerian national, and Middleton acquired the property located at 9808 Bentcross Drive in Potomac, Maryland as joint tenants. Umanah granted Middleton power of attorney to act on his behalf. At some point, Umanah moved back to Nigeria. home was purchased from Connie the late doctor Hector collison wife whom built this home for his family but passed away with 15 year old son to soon to enjoy or afford, absolutely sad story all around.

That house is something extra!!! omg the staircase!!!

Thank you very much for this video!

The extraordinary craftsmanship, combined with the size of the place, probably took ten years to complete.

Oh it already reminds me of the old jumanji movie ❤

That was a big houses thanks for the video

Man If I Was Their And Had A Truck I Would Just Take Alot Of That Stuff Since The Owner Is Abandoned The Mansion Because The Bank Will Just Throw Most Of Valuable Stuff Away In The Trash Because They Will Be To Lazy To Sell It. You Could Make A Few Million Dollars From All That Valuable Stuff The Owner Left Behind And Sell It On Ebay And Amazon.

So nice... Thank you..

Right from the beginning I was saying "OMG"! What a sad story to this beautiful home :o( That grand staircase was stunning. So eerie with the Christmas trees still standing. The dining room table looked like it was set for dinner or company. Such a beautiful kitchen and the office was gorgeous. So many items sitting there, brand new, when so many others could use them. Love your narrative on this house and your always so respectful of these places. I think this is one of your best tours to date. :o) Thank you so much. Stay safe :o)

thank you for the share of your visit !

You sold me at rare sneakers. Can’t wait to see

The third floor and striped room would have likely been live-in staff quarters, hence their small kitchenettes and distant location from other main parts of the house.

I love ❤your videos

It amazes me that places like this exist and that they are abandoned. I've been watching abandoned places videos for years and it still baffles me

The one that was locked was the elevator. There were buttons on the wall. The striped room with kitchenette and bath would be described as a FROG. Finished Room over Garage. This is a particularly nice one. Always enjoy your tours, you give background info.

So strange to see those cars still there and in the garage and driveway 😮

From what I understand the pilot’s family was not in possession of home from 2016 on. A foreign person had home and fled to their country. If I am correct…

That's an awful shame💔

good to see that u wear gloves no other explorer does just for health and safety reasons

Sorry for the loss😢… my heart is breaking.. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Unbelievable that place just left like that high dollar clothing and shoes! Beautiful place is salvageable, but hardly no one can afford that much square footage. And the upkeep. It’s a shame. Another good one👍’s up

Such a fab find. I wonder if the smaller areas were for staff?

That’s gut wrenching to see the Christmas tree still standing

You do such an amazing job documenting these properties!

How did people pass away? Such a amazing place if this was the uk unfortunately it wouldn't be looking so beautiful stills. Living your channel ❤

Here I am stuck at home, wishing I wish with you on your adventures!

This mansion is absolutely stunning! And all those valuable items just left behind! I would’ve thought that the widow would’ve tried to liquidate the contents of the mansion or donate a lot of it since she knew she wouldn’t be living there since she couldn’t afford it.

Some other youtubers with channels called " Jeremy Xplores" and "BigBankz" already uploaded videos on this exact same abandoned mansion a few months ago. Interesting none of them had that fake gun in their videos though...😉 I'm watching from Germany and I am hooked on this channel. I think It's one of the best there is on abandoned places.

Congrats on another sponsorship! I don't know if it's just me but, those red chairs looked horrible. lol But probably cost a small fortune.

Love your videos. We still have a wii and still play it

I don't know if it's up your alley, but the Warner Brothers Backlot Ranch is being bulldozed soon. A Lot of outdoor shots and some indoor were filmed there. It might be worth it to take a trip and yes, it does have a cost.

such a beautiful house

Wow weeeee what a place😮

I get the feeling the widow didn’t want any reminders of the deceased. This is strange to watch because the owners of this house are (probably) still alive. They could be watching this and reading these comments. Imagine how you would feel seeing this, knowing the story and memory behind all of those items, and what has become of it. I don’t think I could take it. Fascinating to watch! Great video!

I love it!

wow, that Fridge was massive

RIP Jim and Dylan Harlan.

on google maps you can see the new house in 2012, there are even people working on it

I've seen this house before and I see no-one has taken all the items. They should be donated to charity.

The new clothes and shoes were killing me lol

I feel mix emotion while watching ... Scared , sad , amazed... Amazed how magnificent the mansion was... Scared becouse it's look like a hunted house .. sad becouse of what happened to the family.. it's a example that we can't bring the things in this world after life...

Oh I see the shower is FULL of Jo Malone bath wash. Love Jo Malone! Very expensive.

0:40 I WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE CARS AND EVERYTHING

Sad ending for a beautiful home like this

Still Wii bowling here.

The slippers are from the Plaza Hotel in New York!

As a car enthusiast and car lover, I would be looking all over the place for those car keys so I can save the cars and get them fixed up and running again after sitting there for years!

I always find it interesting that a lot of the abandoned houses that are showcased seem to have Christmas decorations up - like all these families seem to desert their homes at the same time of year. I wonder why that is.
